The Bark for Your Park program provides funding for the maintenance and development of dog parks across the United States. Applicants must provide documentation about their proposed or existing park as well as evidence of authorization and support for the project from community leaders. For the 2018 grants, PetSafe added three additional slots for new park projects ($25,000 grants) to a total of eight. Five applicants will receive grants to maintain existing dog park projects ($5,000).

This year’s recipients include:

New Park Awards

Enoch, UT

Pasadena, TX

Passaic, NJ

Pensacola, FL

Perris, CA

Ponderay, ID

Reno, NV

Standish, ME

Park Maintenance Awards

Baraboo, WI

Dallas, TX

Rocklin, CA

Savannah, GA

Williamsburg, VA

“For the right community, a dog park will help to increase pet adoptions and help to reduce the number of dogs surrendered to shelters and rescues due to behavior. That’s the legacy that the PetSafe brand wants to leave in communities across the U.S.”

Applications for 2019 Bark for Your Park grants will be accepted beginning in spring of next year. For more information about the program, including how to apply, visit www.petsafe.com/barkforyourpark.
